Last time out - vs. Indiana State Nov. 7, 2018 - L, 62-53
Marshall received a double-double effort from redshirt junior Khadaijia Brooks (16 points and 11 rebounds) in her return from missing all of the 2017-18 season with an injury. However, it was not enough as the Herd struggled shooting in the second half to fall 62-53 to Indiana State. Senior Shayna Gore for the first time in her career did not open a season with a 20-point effort, scoring 12 on a 3-for-14 shooting night. Sophomore Taylor Pearson led the Herd with five assists and grabbed eight boards and fellow classmate Kristen Mayo added 10 points. Three of Marshall's four newcomers saw some time on the floor. Freshman Kia Sivils scored two points and had two assists in 15 minutes. Junior Princess Clemons had four rebounds, two points and two steals in 11 minutes of play. Freshman Lorelei Roper contributed three boards, one point, one block and one steal in nine minutes.
Scouting the Falcons
BGSU started the season, and the coach Robyn Fralick tenure, with a 99-69 loss at Michigan State. The Falcons went in at the half trailing 41-25, and hit just 10 field goals. In the second half, BGSU shot over 50 percent (17-32) and hit five three-pointers. However, the Spartans 58 more points in the final two quarters including hitting six threes in the fourth quarter. The Falcons were outrebounded 53 to 34 as well. Junior Andrea Cecil scored 19 points to lead the way. Freshman Morgan McMillen scored 17 and senior Sydney Lambert added 14 points. Lambert is the top-returning scorer with 296 points a year ago (9.9 ppg) and Cecil was third with 264 (8.8 ppg).
Bowling Green is looking to make up for the loss of Carly Santoro who led the team with 12.8 ppg and 8.7 boards per contest in 2017-18. Santoro transferred to Ohio State this season as a graduate transfer. The Falcons finished the 2017-18 season with an 11-19 record and lost 12 out the final 13 games. Coach Fralick comes to Bowling Green after a very successful tenure at Division II Ashland University. Coach Fralick spent 10 seasons in Ashland with the last three as the head coach and finished with a record of 104-3. The Eagles won the DII National Championship in 2016-17 with a perfect record (37-0) and were the National Runner-Up in 2017-18.
Series History: 14 meetings, BGSU leads 9-5
Marshall and Bowling Green have not met since the last season that the Herd was in the Mid-American Conference in 2004-05. The Falcons won 73-62 at home. The first time these two teams met was Jan. 15, 1972, a 47-41 Marshall win at home.
Following the contest at Bowling Green, the Herd hits the road again to Carbondale, Ill., to take on Southern Illinois. The game is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 17 at 3 p.m. eastern time.
